Ok so does anybody know why after I sharpen my first set of Steel Swords I can't hot key them both to dual wield? With the way it sets it up I have to have both favorites. Then there are two in the favorite menu. They will both equip and I can set the hot key to 1. If I change to my bow (2) then back I'm fine. If I switch my Healing (3) I can no longer switch back to 1 and be dual wielding. I have to go back into the inventory unfavorite them, favorite them again, equip them both, set them back to 1 and then I am fine till I change to something other than my bow again.

This is making combat really frustrating. If I want to switch around depending on the situation I have to be going into my inventory constantly.

There seems to be a bug where if you hotkey items you have more than one of, it sometimes loses the hotkey assignment when you switch to something else. You could work around it by dual-wielding two different weapons, or one sharpened and one regular.

cuz the UI is terribad

Enchant and rename the weapons. It's an annoying bug that stuff with the same name will unfavouite one of them.

I feel your pain mate.

I was going to wait for a mod to fix this, but Beth really should've implemented it properly in the first place.
